Introduction

The Mianshan Scenic Area is located on the east side of the valley, halfway up the mountain. Visitors can take the 12-kilometer special highway and see the mountain gate plaque with the words "Mianshan" on it, passing through the Guangyan Temple, Zhusha Cave, Feihu Cave, and the former site of the Lengyan Meeting, before arriving at the Longtou Temple. The Longtou Temple is a temple with over 20 attractions, including large stone inscriptions such as "Marshal Ye Jianying's Discussion on Mianshan", "Jie Zitui Does Not Speak of Wealth", and "Qu Yuan's Ode to Jiezi", as well as the Hundred Dragons Wall, the Poetry Pavilion, the Pujiu Hall, the Southern Heavenly Gate, the Guandi Temple, and the Longmen Stone Archway. From the entrance of the scenic area, walking up past the Longtou Temple plaque, looking at the left wall of the mountain, you can see sculptures of many coiling dragons, which is the Hundred Dragons Wall. Across from the Hundred Dragons Wall is the Poetry Pavilion. The Southern Heavenly Gate is a three-story pavilion-style building on the rooftop of the Wudian Hall, each level with a different view, making it a great place to watch the sunset, evening sky, and clouds. At the exit of the Longtou Temple is a well-crafted and finely shaped Longmen Stone Archway, which is very eye-catching. Not far from the archway is the Pujiu Pavilion, which is the entrance to the underground palace below. The halls and statues in the palace were designed based on Jie Zitui's philosophy of promoting virtue. The color sculptures in the palace were carefully designed and made by experts in the province, showcasing the essence of aesthetics. Visitors who are interested in this theme can visit it.
